USB was discovered to be in the reverse direction and will need to be change around to become operational

01/Dec/2020

USB was pulled from conduit

While attempting to re-pull the USB in the correction direction, the ethernet cable was damaged and need to be replaced,

(thanks to the Hubert's team for the wire help) 

It was decided that it was too problematic to re-pull the wires with all other wires in the way. Therefore all the wires were removed from the operator control panel, and pulled so that the USB, USB power cord, and ethernet could be re-pulled all together.

However, even once all the wires were re-pulled and reconnected it was discovered that the USB had become damaged, and was removed again.

- A new conduit was added through to the NHC, for only the USB

- USB was fed through, reconnected, and tested

- Putty will need to be added around the conduit to ensure a good seal into NHC

 The North Hot Cell gas delivery lines (labeled 1, 2, and 3 on the hot and cold side panels) were leak checked today.  5psi helium gas was applied to each line in turn with the appropriate solenoid valve opened and a Staubli connector with plastic tubing and the leak check wand attached to the matching connector inside the cell.  The end of the wand was sealed using tape.  The Agilent G8601 leak detector was used on "sniffing" mode to check for escape of helium gas from all joints and connectors.  With the sniffing line attached the leak detector test port pressure was 3.9E-1 Torr and the baseline leak rate was 1.7E-6 Torr*L/s.  There was no response while testing all of the three lines.  For all three there was a leak detector response after disconnecting the Staubli fitting, which confirmed that the lines were properly charged with helium.

First thing I entered into the NHC to install to the target kart mounting clip, and remove excess tools and materials from the hotcell

After the TM3 without a target was lowered into the NHC.

Once inside, with the use of the manipulators, I was able to remove the containment box door, place it on the swivel arm, move the arm out of the way, after the door was return to the containment box and reattached.

 Myself and Isaac removed the boot from the left hot manipulator.

- opened the hatch in the TH to get access to the top of the boot

- released the latch on the boot and loosened the boot from above

- closed TH hatch

- with the right manipulator we were able to detach the rest of boot

This test proved that we can remove a boot from the manipulator without having to enter into the hotcell.

Due to the physical restraints that the boot causes for the operator, we have decided to not reattach the boot with its current design.

A new design will be investigated to allow the boot to be fixed without twisting, which is the source of the problems.

 TM#2 has been moved from the SHC to the NHC.

TM2 UCX33# electrical check and leak check results. See attachment.

 Yesterday a bottle of Cava (sparkling wine) was place, opened, and poured in the NHC, to commemorate its new operational status.

The NHC is now a functional hot cell and is ready for many years of target exchanges to come.

The job is done with Matt at NHC. All TGHT and TBHT bolts are torque wrench tight in NHC. HS leak check result is good.

helium pressurized HS line at TCS. No leak.

UC#33 has been packed and moved from the north hot cell to the spent target vault. See attached PDF for 
deatails

 TM4 electric check with new target was done by David. A pic attached here for ref.

 TM#2 with UC#34 has been moved from ITW to the north hot cell had the target removed and then moved to the south west silo.

 the test was done when TM2 sit on NHC.

 TM#2 moved from ITE to NHC SiC#41 removed and then moved back to ITE.

 the tests were done when TM4 was on NHC. see attached photos please.

 The spent SiC#41 target has been placed in pail #260 and placed in spot 5B of that spent target vault. See attached PDF for details. 

Travis and Nadia moved TM2 from ITW to NHC this morning. The move is smooth and successful.

TM2( no target ) has been moved  from NHC to SMP.  The moving is smooth and successful.

 David made an electric check after TM4 been moved to NHC from ITE. The target is still on the module. Please find out attached pic for detail.

 David did electrical check after target removed from TM4 at NHC. see attachment pls.

TM4 was removed from NHC to S_W silo yesterday.  The remove is smooth and successful.
